OK...Not all of that is true. Pony interior was not introduced until March or 1965. There were K-code 289's in 1964 but they were very rare. I don't think the combination of K-code and 4-speed is rare however. GT (PIO) package was not available on the 1964-1/2 and ALL 1964 introduced Mustangs were VINed as 1965's. The early 1965's started production in March 1964 and the car was introduced April 17th 1964 at the NY World's Fair. "Early" production ran until about the 2nd week of August 1964.
He’s wrong on several points. The GT option and pony interior were not available on 64.5 cars, or even what he calls 64 3/4 cars, so those have both been added later. The reverse is also true on hipo models and transmissions....the 4 speed was the ONLY option with a k code in 64.5 and 65. Automatics were added as an option for hipos in 66, so it’s actually common to have a 4 speed in a hipo. So I’d throw out the “1 in 30” comment, especially since all the option records for these years (64.5 - 66)were lost in a fire.
I am always amazed by how much B.S. "facts" are still floating around regarding what exactly constitutes a 64.5 Mustang. Over the years, I have worked on three of the very early build Mustangs. As an original car, the early Mustang is not a very desirable or pleasant experience to drive. The difference between an early build and a 66 with equivalent drive trains and trim is really noticeable.
What he said about the hoods not being able to be "mix-matched" is completely wrong. I own a 64.5 Mustang, and during restoration I needed to replace the hood. Being restricted by money, I went for the much cheaper (more than $200 cheaper) 65-66 hood. It fits right up, the hood closes just fine, and it does not chip the paint. but it does not match what he called the headlight bucket. Hardly noticeable.
